Patel Engineering Limited received a penalty order from the Forest and Environment Department, South Sikkim, for operating a 200 THP Stone Crusher Plant at the Teesta Stage-VI Hydro Electric Project site in Sikkim without obtaining a mandatory operational license. The company was executing a INR 1,251 Crore project awarded by NHPC in 2021 and had obtained consent to operate from the department, but claims they were not informed about the separate operational license requirement. A flat penalty of Rs. 14 lakhs has been levied covering the years 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2025-26. The company states it will pay the penalty and obtain the required license. Operations at the site continue without interruption.
The penalty of Rs. 14 lakhs is minor relative to the project's INR 1,251 Crore value and the company states there is no material financial impact. The stock may see minor negative sentiment due to the regulatory penalty, but no operational disruption is reported.
